The petition of Benderson Development Company LLC, 570 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14202 for three [3] variances for the purpose of erecting a sign on premises owned by the applicant at 4733 William Street, Lancaster, New York, to wit:

A. A variance from the requirements of Chapter 50, Zoning, Section 30D.(1) of the Code of the Town of Lancaster to install a sign advertising Rachel’s Mediterranean located at 4931 Transit Road on an existing pole sign at 4733 William Street.

Chapter 50, Zoning, Section 30D. (1) of the Code of the Town of Lancaster requires no sign shall be used to attract attention to a business not available or located on the premises where the sign is located. The petitioner, therefore, requests a variance to allow offsite advertising to be placed on a parcel.


Since (and before) that meeting the Orville’s pole sign has a Rachel’s Mediterranean Restaurant lit sign operating on its premises. Since that date there have accidents in this location, one of them in the Orville’s driveway entrance.

The colocation of the Rachel’s sign is illegal, and this overburdened area does not need any more attention / traffic drawn to it.

Public safety is supposed to be the town's number one priority, right?
What was the result of last night's meeting? The recording isn't posted yet.


EDIT_ Ooops it wasn't last night it's scheduled for 2/13
